Shimmer is New York City's Bitter Grace's long-awaited follow up to God and the Abyss.

While Shimmer did not take as long to release, seven years to the twelve it took to finish the previous, the band still underwent line-up changes through the period of recording and releasing this album, however not as severely.

The difference in sound between God and the Abyss and Shimmer is striking, with the new direction of the band adding more elements of electronic dance music and a generally dancier sound.

Some tracks have been available for a while online and two initial singles, "Shimmering" and "Slave", have been receiving college and Internet radio airplay.

All songs by Gustavo Lapis Ahumad except: "Viva Las Vegas"; "Slave" & "Shimmering" by Brandon Tubby and Bitter Grace; "On Their Lips" by Caitlyn Deery and Bitter Grace.
